Wishart. ;

Skoosh.

Oh yes, you're right.  It's Wishark on the marriage record, but Wishart on the children's baptisms and on her own death certificate.

Hi,

Sorry to revive an old thread but looking into family history as my grandmother passed recently, we originated from the same family line from what I can find. We can to Australia by Captain George Groundwater, sailing to Maryborough QLD. From my research we also link back to the same Magnus and I think I've correctly pieced together a family tree to the late 1500s on Ancestry.

Thanks,
Beau.

Hi
I have a Katharine Groundwater B:abt 1698 Orkney, Scotland in my family tree. She married John Crawford B:abt 1695 Holm, Orkney, Scotland. She was my 6G Grandmother and I live in Australia. I don't have any parents for her, so I'm not sure whether she had a brother Magnus.

Hey all,
Apologies continuing this thread, from searching through ancestry I have managed to track the Groundwater family line from Captain George Groundwater back to clan Mackenzie and I think further.

Beau.
